Jennifer Souza-Madura

Jennifer Souza-Madura serves as a Contract Specialist at Base Cape COD (70Z052), a U.S. Coast Guard facility under the Department of Homeland Security, where she manages the full lifecycle of facility services contracts to sustain critical infrastructure and ensure operational readiness. Her portfolio encompasses a wide range of maintenance, repair, and modernization acquisitions including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems, all aligned with environmental compliance and safety standards. She plays a pivotal role in translating mission-critical facility needs into compliant, efficient procurement actions that support the Coast Guard’s long-term asset sustainability goals. Souza-Madura maintains a strong working relationship with GALLO CONSTRUCTION CO INC, a primary contractor for facility infrastructure projects, and regularly collaborates with a network of specialized service providers across construction, environmental, and facility support sectors. Her contracting approach emphasizes clear performance metrics, timely delivery, and contractor accountability, fostering reliable, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and mission alignment. She demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses. While no set-aside awards are also issued when competition or mission requirements demand broader eligibility, her pattern consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enhance vendor diversity and community impact. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), which constitutes nearly half of her activity, alongside significant acquisitions in highway and bridge construction (237310), painting and wall covering (238320), linen supply (812331), and hazardous waste treatment (562211). This reflects deep expertise in facility maintenance, environmental stewardship, and grounds management—domains essential to sustaining Coast Guard installations in coastal and operational environments.
